Against a backdrop of shifting supply and costs in the real estate market, several updates stand out for both housing supply and rental demand. On the housing side, commentary suggests that abundant supply may support pricing, as the information points to the need for many developers to increase incentives after an estimated 30% impact is mentioned.
